Having lived and worked and brought up my family in North London for more than 40 years, I re-settled back into Herefordshire full time in 2001. Working for Gorsley Goffs began my Clerking journey more than 12 years ago; Lea School was added some years later, which just doubled the pleasure of working for the Governors.

In a previous life, I was a College Lecturer in Further Education working in the College's Business Faculty, with industrialists in the London Borough of Barnet, and in conjunction with Middlesex University.

Before retirement from that part of life, I worked to deliver new Government Initiatives post school education - CPVE, IDVE, BTECs of all sorts, to name but a few.

My interests include music, especially mainstream/modern Jazz, poetry and poets, reading - lots, research work, and voluntary work for Arts, Science, Ross Library Development Group, Newent museum among others.
